I work professionally with children and adults that are severely multiple handicapped. However,  Dutch children and adults are helped by many professionals in many ways to develop themselves to the maximum of their potential, their situation from birth is the same as those of those people in Bangladesh the PhySCI Foundation supports.  I have been in Bangladesh several times as a volunteer to offer professional help to the caretakers in exploring the possibilities for development and play and to stimulate the educational development of the children.

As a physiotherapist and friend of Ria Schmitz, I appreciate the special help PhySCI gives in Bangladesh and the progress the foundation has made. It makes an important difference in the life of many underprivileged families. As a member of the executive board I developed the PhySCI-logo and –leaflet. I also look for sponsors in my network. Still working as a physiotherapist, I hope to help the foundation professionally in achieving its aim.

Inspired by the dedication of the volunteers, but also of the benefactors and the people that help to organize events to promote the work for PhySCI, I am honored to be secretary of the executive board of PhySCI. Since secondary school Ria Schmitz and I are friends. We share hobbies and passions since then. Her work in Bangladesh inspires me to find more volunteers and  benefactors. I am happy to send letters of thanks to the many people that forward the work of PhySCI.
